Mr. Lif: Spring Tour

he looks like he would like to hang out . . . smoke some blunts.

wow i remember seein LIf at the old house of blues in Cambridge back in 2001. no love for your hometown Boston this tour?

No question Lif is always in my top 5 hip hop artists. Just about anyone on the Def-Jux label is SICK. The Orlando show looks good because I don't see any openers listed. A problem I've had with Hip Hop shows is there's often way too many opening acts. In my opinion experiencing Hip Hop live is best when you know the lyrics and I usually don't when it comes to the openers. The exception is when the production value is great and the mc raps in a style that's easy to comprehend the first time around.

very true henry. sounds like you would enjoy Lyrics Born.

my favortie track with Lif - Orions Belt

its surprising that there is no boston stop. but i woudlnt be surprised if he added a stop at the Mid East. shit, maybe he already hit it up.

smoke

some

blunts

blunts blunts blunts blunts it's what im all about

Trying to get lifted with Mr. Lif!

Actually y'all, he has said that he got his name(Lif) from a phish show, he heard a bassline and it called out to him. Thought you phanners may like to know that little tidbit. Lif is one of my favorites, he provides excellent social commentary on issues and situations relevant to all of us. Definitely surprised there is no boston date, and no Hoosier love either! Check out his disk 'I, phantom' if you want to hear some excellent hip hop music wrapped into a concept album..so dope

'Now this is my escape from many things on many levels

I couldn't settle the pedal these are words of a rebel

Come and dance with the devil in the bloody meadow

The ground is metal from the armor of a soldier's medal'

and on and on..

"Just plucked my name out of a bassline. I was at a Phish concert back in like 1994. I was high as hell on mushrooms, and I had a breakthrough about this character called "The Liftedly Man". He was on some live every day to the fullest shit, so I adopted the persona, and I try to live up to the name daily."
